In a non-capitalist society it would make even less sense. Seeing as how men might not feel insecure with women of their age, or the same caliber as them.

The older I get, and having had two children and a 13 year old adopted sister. I couldn’t imagine dating a 19 year old, it just feels alien…

More people need to listen to this cumtown clip. There will always be bottom tier men unfuckable by the standards of any woman their age. That’s not capitalism’s fault.

Power dynamics can be easily addressed with cybernetic augmentation, so you can download wisdom to make up for the gap in years, and command respect from your partner with the laser cannon grafted to your sternum

I have not read the book but looked up the passage out of curiousity. The character is referring to the last time he saw her, which was more than ten years previous; she is 29 when mentioned. So married at 30-something and 19, or before. She is introduced with a description of her breasts, so not to disagree that the author is a strange 70s polish pervert. But it doesn’t seem to be exactly as you say.

In Crime and Punishment, iirc, the main character kills an old woman. That was so mean and really I don’t think people aughta do that. I stopped reading after that. Killing old ladies is wrong in any context and this obsession the author has with it is really revealing
